Getting Ready for August

Hubby and I have been seriously discussing my "future" and have decided that maybe I should be a stay-at-home Mom by August, when he comes home. part of me is excited of this new development, but part of me is scared too. At the back of my mind is the "globale financial crisis" and I just can't easily shake off the feeling that maybe this move is not the right time for me to do so. Last week I was quite certain already and look forward to the new challenge. But then, i got to talk to my Mom and she gave me a sermon. Hahaha. I'm too young, it's such a waste, people are looking for jobs and here I am resigning, it's not the right time, etc. etc. etc. You know, enough words to bonk my head many times over.

Now I am uncertain again, but still, I'm getting ready for it. I have checked and rechecked our budget (yes, love the Excel!) and see if we have enough moolah for our expenses and savings. I also checked if there are any more expenditures that I have missed, which I did... my insurance and our car insurance! I had to ask E how much we paid, but hubby said that we should ask for auto insurance quotes from other companies because the one we have now is really expensive (for me I think hahaha).

Yeah, I'm in this financial analyst mode again. But I just have to make sure, you know. *Sigh*

I also talked to my Dad about setting up a business, and he's all game for it. Maybe one time we should have a drink and discuss about this, because he is also serious in setting up a new business.

Lastly, prayer. I've been praying to ask for guidance and enlightenment. Nope, I'm not being sentimental and all. This move is a big leap of faith.

*Sigh* I hope we are making the right decision. Besides, it's not ebcause I don't want to work anymore. Well aprtly. But it's ebcause I want to be the one who is fully there for my baby girl, and fully there for my husband when he's on vacation.
